Welcome to the Baptist Muse! We're thrilled to have you join us, and we hope you're excited to be a member of one of the most energetic Baptist communities on the web. As we continue to grow our site, we are constantly looking for ways to attract new users and to get our current users more involved. To support that effort, we have launched a campaign where you can earn points and rewards for your involvement in our community.

Starting on April 1st and continuing through the duration of the month April, your participation at the Baptist Muse can earn you points towards cash and prizes! Points are added automatically to your account upon completion of each task. Be sure to check back periodically as we will be adding more and more items to this list.

If you are a winner at the end of the month, be sure to contact us immediately with your mailing address and your choice of preferred gift card! (e.g. Wal-mart, Amazon, Target, etc.)

This competition will end at midnight April 31, 2009. At that time, the users with the most points will be rewarded with the following prizes:

	The first place winner will be taking home a $40.00 gift certificate to any one of the following stores or restaurants: Amazon, Best Buy, Circuit City, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, Target, Wal-Mart, plus many more! In fact, if you are the winner, you choose any store you like and if they offer gift cards, we'll get you one!
	The second place winner will be taking home a $10.00 gift certificate to any one of the following stores or restaurants: Amazon, Best Buy, Circuit City, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, Target, Wal-Mart, plus many more!

	The third place winner will be awarded a very congratulatory slap on the back and great big "job well done." We'll tell you how much we appreciate you and then we'll send you on your way! I guess what we're saying is that you'll be an honorable mention.

If I support the site on a recurring monthly basis ($10 per month) will I still get 250 points for April?

Bro. Garry,

Absolutely. But to make it easier, just use the purchase points link at the top of this page. You should see it just below the main menu. Purchase Points

It is still just a standard paypal donation, but this will allow the system to track the points as well! Thanks so much for the interest in helping out. What a blessing!

In Christ,
Nicholas Z. Cardot

Well I not really a big poster. I quite boring I guess. I usually post whenI have really good new or when something is bothering me. Hey if you start a recipe thread I can contribute and if it was the recipes I submit that would cause me to win then I'd take the gift card for Walmart cause that way I can buy food to do the cooking and baking I like to do. We don't eat well well these days and I rarely get to do much cooking and baking. As a matter of fact several "christians" came down on me in December when we had no food and no money. I had no desire at all to be off work for a week and half with no food in the house so i went to Wally World and charged quite a bit on food. We ate good. Now richly but nutritionally.
